It is in fact the white metal housing, held by three screws, holding the needle that is broken. The needle is still in the carb but the shoulder that retains the needle is broken.

I am in need of a carb for a 1917 Elgin that I recently purchased. It currently has a Stromberg LB 1. I would entertain others that might work on this car as well..please let me know if anyone has one. Thanks, James

I just purchased this car this week and was curious about the connection to the Kool Aid inventor. How did you come by that information? Thanks, James

Stumbled across this thread today while searching for some information on a Sears Motor Buggy that I have purchased. It was owned by MGM Studio and is supposed to be the Sears driven by Red Skelton in the movie 'Excuse My Dust" I have owned several antique cars but the oldest was a 1922 Model T Touring and current have a 1931 Ford Model A Slant Window Sedan so this is a whole new thing for me
